Visual Art – Houston
After four childhood years at MFAH’s Glassell Jr. School scholarship class, Marlo received a BA from Davidson, an MBA from U.T. Austin, and held non-art-related professional positions in Washington D.C., Houston, and New York. A music journalist for Houston Press and Cover in NYC in the \'90\'s, she continues to write for Houston’s CultureMap.
Since returning to art in 1999, her work has been actively commissioned: Labor-intensive drawings, paintings and mixed media pieces done entirely of text, or in pointillism (tiny bright squares of paper) - or both elements - form photo-realistic images when seen from a distance. Pieces have been shown in Houston at 34 venues including Diverse Works Art Space, Lawndale Art Center, and in Art League Houston\'s Open Show. She was awarded a grant from the Houston Arts Alliance in 2005: The interview-based piece was installed in 2009. Work recently done for St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School is an ornate cross containing the names of every student and faculty member at the school.
Marlo, her husband and their two boys find balance living in the piney woods north of Houston since returning to Texas from life in the wild, beautiful Ozarks.
